[QUOTE=BaLListic_EVO;5037525]I have this manifold and im currently having it inspected by a welder and waiting for the results... Also i plan to relief cut mine on the flange..... btw u can get these with the downpipe for 130$ shipped BNIB www.xs-power.com[/QUOTE

LOL why even bother with XS-power manifold... do some research!!! Why would you buy a 20-30k car and put JUNK parts on it?

 

[QUOTE=Aliengotpsi;5037791]metal is metal man, lol just cause a name on it doesnt make it better then another, the craftsman ship makes the part, besides welds can be rewelded

 

could this mani be used with a stock turbo

 

no, the flanges are different

 

No it cant, its t3 flanged. I see the whole, you spent 20k-30k on the car why buy a cheap part. Not everybody is completely made of money. If i can save some money on a part that will do its job sufficiently, why not? I wouldnt buy a set of ebay pistons or nothing like that, but Im not going to buy some JUN ones either just cause

 

Well i agree i have the xs power exhaust very happy with it. Same goes here i wouldn't buy there turbos but supporting mods why not.

 

Yeah Im not saying xs-power is the next big name, nor am I saying Id pickup a turbo of theirs, but like you said little supporting mods why not.

 

well when the manifold cracks and the welds fly into your turbo youll be ****ed

 

Dont most manifolds crack anyway.

 

manifold and downpipe for $130!!!!!! haha yea.

looks like a POS to me

 

This manifold take a 44mm WG, but if your going to use a Tial 44mm you might have to weld on the tial flange because the one it brings causes leaks. Also try and have some one weld a support rod for the pipe outlet for the WG because they tend to crack there. Just a heads up

 

Do you have one of these?

 

Well i will keep everybody posted here I just ordered the manifold with the downpipe and will build my own turbo kit. One thins I learned is that people tend to give bad rep to things that don’t cost 1500 for a manifold, you will never know is its bad unless you try it, plus its lifetime warranty and if not happy 100% money back guaranty, what’s here to loose??? My friend has the same manifold and its looks great and he never had a problem with it he been running it for about 5 months now. I will start the build this week my SC61 turbo should be here on friday cant wait.

 

This should go good with my Harbor Freight Tig welder i just got!. so im going to cut this manifold up and re weld her Should be a good practice mani

 

the mani and dp are sold for $130 each i believe... i dont think its $130 for both


Cheers!
